Recently, rumors arose that the popular Microsoft Office software will be available for the tablet that started it all - the iPad. Up until this point, Microsoft has been somewhat unsuccessful inside of Apple territory. A relatively boring Bing app has been all they have had to show for up until this point. If this transition could be made, it would be a win-win situation for both companies, at least for the time being. With the apps rolling out on the App Store, it would most likely be available for other phones and application stores as well. Microsoft Office would be contested by the current word, spreadsheet, and presentation apps, called Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. However, I think many people will drop the old apps for the classic programs included in Microsoft Office. The expected price is $10 and will most likely be implemented in early 2012. If the features of the Microsoft programs are upheld in their app forms, they will dominate their competition. Many people are fed up with the new systems apple has tried to put in, and will jump on this quickly. Lots of listeners were surprised when they heard this because of Apple's tightly closed off and privatized way of
doing things. For whether this is for the best, only time will tell.
